Early history

The station was established on Anmatyerre tribal land. The Chisholm family have owned Napperby Station "on and off" since 1948.[3]

Recent history

Artist Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri was born at Napperby in 1932[4] and another artist Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri was raised there.

Native title was granted by the Federal Court of Australia over Napperby Station. Both claims were first filed in 2005 after mining leases were granted in the area. The Central Land Council submitted new applications for native title rights over the whole pastoral lease in 2011.[5]
